Anyway, we got hit with bedbugs. Two schools got closed over it. It
was an epidemic or whatever.

Anyway, my laptop is infested. I have researched and found that when
exposed to temperatures of 135 F for like 45 minutes it kills them and
their eggs. The government and the companies who do this assure us
that this is safe. It probably is if not running.

I just checked the oven, the lowest it will go is 170 F. Is that safe
for a non, running (at the time) computer ? Could it damage the screen
if by nothing else but expansion and contraction ?

We are about to bring in new matress and whatever, but anything
happening to this laptop IS NOT AN OPTION.


Why can't you treat the laptop the same way you are treating the rest of
the place?

I've never had them, thank God, but I have seen info about them and the
temperature thing is supposed to be for real.


I hear that spice extracts drive them away (peppermint oil, spearmint oil, cinnamon oil, vanilla oil, etc..)
